Monsgeek M1 DIY Kit
Stabilizers
PCB Mount/Screw-in stabilizers tend to vibrate less. M1 uses Akko stabilizers (un-assembled) with nylon housing in case users want to lubricate.
Renovated Encoder
The encoder has been designed to avoid scratching the case and offers more stability.
Golden Accent
Adding a touch of class and elegance, we opted to add a beautiful golden accent so that no matter which way you look at it, you’ll fall in love over and over again.
South-facing PCB
The south-facing PCB of the M1 avoids causing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, offering more compatibility and flexibility. (Kind note: The “Enter” key of M1 ISO layout version could be compatible with 3-pin mx switches only.)
QMK / VIA
MonsGeek M1 supports VIA for cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) advanced keyboard configuration.
This feature is exclusively for international version of M1.
3mm Case Foam
Monsgeek has developed its own budget custom material that performs equally as well as poron.
*Disclaimer: Using thicker foam may reduce flex, whether to include it or not is down to your personal preference
PET Insulation Layer
A PET insulation layer has been added to the bottom case in order to prevent any short circuit issues. It’s rare for these issues to occur but we want to add extra protection.
